Mtabga

What we know so far

Mtabga means "folded", and it is the stuffed flatbread of southern Tunisia: a soft olive-oil bread dough rolled thin, spread with a spicy filling, folded in half and cooked in a dry or lightly oiled pan until blistered. The classic filling is a thick, hot tomato and pepper sauce, sometimes with pieces of dried meat (kadid); the Gabès version uses mashed carrot with harissa and caraway. It is eaten hot or cold, as a snack, a starter with salad, or a Ramadan bread.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
